I am proud to be a part of this new group for veterans, the same as I was proud to serve this great country. An excellent idea from those fine folks at Jobcase. I would like to introduce myself as a veteran of the US Army. I served from 1982-1986. I was a young man and my mother took me to the recruiter's office on my seventeenth birthday, like was planned would happen throughout my youth. My plan was to join the US Air Force and fly fighter jets, but as I sat across the desk from the recruiter, my pilot plans were altered as the first question he asked me was, "Did you bring your high school diploma with you?" I looked at my mom through my afro bangs and replied, "I don't have one of those." My head was down and my thoughts of my late father as I stepped from the US Air Force recruiting office into the hallway and looked up. Placards above the doors going down the hall read: Navy.. Army.. and Marines.. Remembering what my father, a US Marine who had served two tours in Vietnam, had said a few years earlier, "Don't join the Marines, boy. Join one of the other branches and learn how to do something you can use when you become a civilian again." It was between the Navy and Army; I had to pick one because I was determined to join up with America's Military that day. It didn't take long for me to decide as I had no fondness of being out at sea on a boat and something happening and finding myself trying to swim back to a chunk of land I couldn't see. Two weeks later I boarded a Greyhound bus in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for Fort Leonardwood, Missouri in a leather cowboy hat and a precision shaped afro. That's my Join the Service story. I hope to meet many other veterans here and hear each of your stories as well. I'm sure, just like me, each of you have many stories from memories. I appreciate every one of you for your dedication and sacrifice for this great country. I hope to be of assistance to all who come here in search of a better job or a job period. I will do all I can to help.… #veteran #army #marines #navy #air force #america
At the Navy supply Depot I was a driver/warehouse/labor which in turn picking up material from different vendors bringing back to the warehouse sorting them into different jobs and then delivering them to different job sites that's what I did in supplies for 20 years
The job could be a good place to work, the manager and upper management are nasty full of drama and hateful
Helping people
I had lost my job at Amerian West Airlines because of 9/11. I had a new born daughter and I wanted to be able to support her so I joined the Navy.
So I just recently got out the Navy and I had my first job interview today, not exactly sure how it went. I felt that I was, for a lack of a better term, bland. I'm not really a conversationalist and I felt a lite subpar. Any tips for me?
I was in the navy active duty I love every minute I tell everyone to join it is a great experince
Hi Everyone, I'm currently active duty US Navy service member currently stationed in California. If I don't advance to E-6 within a year and a half, I will have to separate. I am currently working on my associates degree in Power plant technology and am looking into going in the power and energy field. Anyone know where I should start and whom could be hiring?
